Many were surprised by the absence of Joao Fonseca in the tournaments of the Asian tour, considering it was a good opportunity for the young Brazilian to continue climbing positions in the rankings. In the lead-up to the ATP 250 Brussels 2025, where he is one of the main attractions, he clarified the reason why he skipped that phase of the season. "I was dealing with sinusitis, and we preferred to be cautious to recover well and arrive at 100% for the European indoor tour. I am fully recovered now and eager to show my best tennis here," commented the Brazilian, who will debut against Botic Van de Zandschulp.
In an exclusive interview with ESPN Brazil, João spoke about his schedule and explained that he withdrew from Shanghai due to a bacteria he contracted.
